The late October chill had receded, the sun shone brightly, and the weather was warm enough to be outside without coats. This was good since Fianna had been told the actual mating ceremony had to be held outdoors. She had the white velvet wrap to wear over her strapless gown, but that wouldn’t have been enough had the temperature been any colder. Werewolves weren’t particularly susceptible to the cold, but she’d been raised Underhill, which had a much milder climate. As soon as he’d showered and shaved, Greg was sent packing, to finish getting ready in George and Jase’s room down the hall. Immediately, Fianna was descended upon by Lana, Katy, Lana’s mother and even Katy’s mother-in-law, Irene. They’d all been so kind at last night’s impromptu bridal shower that Fianna didn’t have any qualms about accepting their assistance and support as she prepared for the afternoon ceremony. The skimpy lingerie, massage oils and even sex toys included among the gifts were a little embarrassing, but she recognized the gesture as a rite of passage among women and accepted them with laughter and gratitude.
